Written by Cara De Carlo on .

From the WPIAL Individual Track and Field Championships:

Early this spring, Fox Chapel’s Brandon Mitchell told the Post-Gazette that it was his goal to improve in the 300-meter hurdle event. The 110-meter hurdles had been his favorite hurdle race in the past.

Likewise, Mitchell spent the season training on endurance – with hurdles. He ran 400 after 400 with the hurdles set up.

Second: Central Catholic’s Torey Doaty at 38.65

Third: Elizabeth Forward’s Matthew Bernadowski at 39.46
